Below, CBS Sports has gathered all the most notable news, movements and rumors of the day in one place for your reading convenience.
Tigers still on Bregman
Tigers caused a sensation on Sunday evening, Gather with the right starter Jack Flaherty on a two -year pact that contains a withdrawal clause after the first season. Detroit may not be done with its late purchases. According to Buster Olney d’Espn, tigers are interested in adding Alex Bregman to their list.
Bregman has entered the off -season classified by CBS Sports as a free agent n ° 3 in the country. Here is what we wrote at the time:
Bregman was one of the third most productive basic player in sport for a large part of his career. He compiled the sixth most important war in the post since 2020, putting him in front of Rafael Devers and behind the Who’s Who of this third basic base of this time. He has had a great career to date. However, this exercise consists, in part, in impatiently waiting. The more we dug on Bregman, the more we have developed reserves on its bat. You cannot deny its feeling of contact, but we are not as confident on the other elements. For example, Statcast calculations suggest that he would have at least 30 career career circuits if he had struck the same range of balls struck in one of the 17 other Mlb Fields. You cannot hold this against Bregman – you golf the course on which you are – but it suggests that his power could play elsewhere. There is also the question of its walking rate, which made a career of 6.9% last season when it became more aggressive. The skills of the bat and the Bregman defensive remain good enough to provide it with value; There are just a little more reasons to say “HM” here than its name value suggests.
The Tigers, an obvious adjustment given the story of the AJ Hinch manager with Bregman, have already added another veteran field to their ranks this winter, in Gleyber Torres. As it stands, Detroit should deploy Jace Jung on the third base and Colt Keith at the start.
Bregman is known to interest several teams in addition to tigers, including Astros (which recently exchanged the high lever lift Ryan in a hurry To eliminate their financial image), Red Sox and Cubs.
